Lol...well thanks for taking one for the team . Would you be able to dump and upload the system files so we can compare the patched files to the originals?

That's exactly what I will do, just rooted using my easy root zip so that's still good
it's a large update from b08c to b10, it replaced all apps/framework/kernel etc so this could be interesting. I will upload a backup of system/boot asap, backing up now.

Sweet! I can already smell some b10 roms cooking lol.
I was planing to do an image backup of the stock B08C image, then another after the update, then compare the two backups to see how far-reaching the changes are. All the different files resulting from the backup should be able to be copied over into the stock B08C ROM to make it send a phone right to B10G.
Some interesting looking new apks...connections optimizer and such
Yeah, I noticed that and a couple other interesting ones, however IIRC I think they get deleted after install? I may be wrong. About to test some of them out now.

Did you somehow flash the update zip from stock or did you just wait for the ota?
Tons of incremental MPQ patching going on. And they included a new copy of like EVERY stock app. Why? I've yet to compare these to their B08C counterparts.
Also, we apparently now have support for the Matrix Vision series of frame-grabbers. Not sure if I want my frames grabbed in the first place lol

Also, the OpenCore update / patch modifies the Android multimedia framework. About time.
I plan on running stock with this update for a while, just to see how it differs from B08C. I'm underway getting the patches applied to get a working, installable image ready. After that, it's time to make Warp OEM B10G based
Ok I got a question.wat good would the update be anyways, cuz if u have to go back to stock,unrooted to get the b10 version.u would be stuck with a stock rom(b10) until sum1developed a b10 based rom. Right?u could always flash a bo8c rom but u would loose the b10 firmware.if any of that makes sense.cuz after u: update u have to stay on a b10based rom other wise u will go back to bo8c right?
Wats supposed to be so good about, this update anyway?(as far as boost and zte r concerned)cuz every firmware "update" they have sent out so far has been a disappointment.I think its all a bunch of crap just so they can try to make us stay stock and unrooted.I'm ready for an update that I will actually be able to tell that I have lol..

I will update n00b with this update soon, frankly beyond some new bloatware I don't see any real improvement... I am curious what was changed on the kernel side though

I was able to root using my simple root zip, they did do something new to block data and kernel changes bit I was able to restore a twrp backup although I had to flash it twice to get data and kernel back

You are correct. There's really no reason (unless you love being stock lol) to jump to this as it seems to add no new useful features. You're better off waiting for a B10G ROM to get this on your phone. Even then, the biggest benefit of being on B10G will be not having your bandwidth taken up while the system tries to get you on B10G lol

Yes, I've gone back to root a few times since the update.

What kind of things did they do to block? Just wondering since I had no trouble going from my daily driver image to stock B08C to B10G and back to my daily again.

might just be my phone, I think I have developed an issue with my usb so files don't always transfer correctly.

**** the update just create a hybrid rom!!! All zte/boost handset updates are gonna blow donkey ass and suck monkey balls! It doesn't matter if someone creates a Frankenstein rom just make something new and sick AF for the warp.. no pressure I'm just hungry for new shit to check out. I also apologize for the aggressiveness of my post....
PS.
Frankenstein should be the name of the first hybrid rom, if one were to ever be released of course.
P.p.s
I feel better now that I've released some aggression lol

It looks like this update is able to wipe a custom recovery in some cases... so be careful.
There's also a Bluetooth update :-) Hopefully more BT profiles will be supported now. That'd be nice.
It also patches mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2, mmcblk0p9 and mmcblk0p12, which the updater script calls the "DBL image", the "OSBL image", the "AMSS image" and the boot image, respectively.
Will update this post as I find out more.
that sounds like the main differences between the boost and public mobile rom... whats the resulting build number after the update? this may cause scaling issues for those using kernel ramdisk for the b08c on their updated boost mobile warp...

Not obviously, at least. Still probing the innards and such, but not that much really changed. I think the main point of the update was to get everyone (except us here, that is ) running Connections Optimizer, given the focus of their recent "use WiFi, not 3G when possible" campaign and it's enabled by default and integrated into the settings menu.
Also, it's funny how they patch all our apps in the update, then you go to the Play Store and like 5 of them are out of date already lol

That will eat up more battery running all the time looking for a signal!!

I agree, but in their article about it they claim they reduced the seek interval for WiFi so that it doesn't search as often as before. I'm still not convinced it's useful. I'm perfectly capable of managing my connections myself, thank you
